Gale Boyd, a Jewish convert and past president
Author Gale Boyd
spoke about "Messianic Imagery In The Jewish Holidays".
She explained
the Exodus from Egypt as a walk through the Plan of Salvation. During
the Exodus the Lord ordained seven Holy Convocations or Holy Days and
commanded the Israelites to observe them forever. The imagery in these
holy days lays out the entire religious time-line of the earth,
especially the mission, identity, and comings of the Savior.
Christ
used the imagery to teach of himself while he lived among the Jews.
Sister Boyd lived in Israel 8 years (through the 1991 Gulf War), Cyprus
3 1/2 years, Ireland one year, and has been in the US 8 years. Her last
child was born in a Palestinian 10 bed hospital while a donkey cart was
parked outside.
Her grandfather was from Ukraine, immigrating in 1914 through Ellis
Island where her father was born; her mother was a German Jew.
Sister Boyd is author of the book "Days of Awe: Jewish Holy Days, Symbols and Prophesies for Latter-day Saints" . Click here for book description and info; below to download it.
